HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SOCCER: TCA stops Holy Cross

HAMILTON — Even though the Trenton Catholic Academy boys soccer team’s lineup has changed this season, the Iron Mikes’ mindset has not.

Despite only having 11 players back from last year’s --- squad and rising to the Burlington County Scholastic League’s Patriot Division, TCA has met the challenge and put itself into a position to win yet another league title with its 3-1 win over Holy Cross yesterday.

Yes, mentioned in that mix was the Mercer County Tournament, in which the Iron Mikes, who will enter for a second straight season, figure to get a No. 2 seed when pairings are announced tomorrow.

Henry got TCA going versus the Lancers when he converted a pass from Wesley Reyes midway through the first half. Reyes then scored off a pass from Fomba Tulay to give the home team a comfortable 2-0 lead.

But even when Tobias Tweh knocked in a failed punch out by Holy Cross goalkeeper Matt Paradise in the 52nd minute, the home team could not rest on its laurels because Jon Mackie put the visitors on the board eight minutes later.

“We’ve got to come out with the same intensity every game,” Lendee said. “Some games we come out like we’re automatically going to win. We can’t come out like that because that’s how we almost lost to Hun and Bordentown.”

The Iron Mikes will have three more regular-season tests this week before kicking off MCT play at home next Saturday.

LAWRENCE — Anthony DeRisi tallied twice in the second half to keep the Redbirds undefeated.

When Jacek Zarski converted a pass from David Kraszewski, it gave the Cardinals a 1-0 halftime lead.
